BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a multifunctional protection device fora flat video product, and more particularly to a multifunctionprotection device which allows a flat video product, especially a tabletpersonal computer, to be put vertically or horizontally on a workingplatform at plural angles, thereby facilitating a user to read or toucha screen. In addition, through snap-fits and a hand-held notch providedon a plastic back cover, the flat video product can be easily put intoor taken out of the multifunctional protection device.

b) Description of the Prior Art

As development of technologies, a flat video product, especially atablet personal computer, should be small in size and light in weightthat the user can carry conveniently. However, when the flat videoproduct is getting smaller, user convenience in operation will belimited in someway.

Accordingly, a lot of protection sleeves, which are also provided with asupport bracket function, of the tablet personal computers arise inmarkets to prevent the tablet personal computer from scratching andfacilitate use. Nevertheless, all the protection sleeves sold onexisting markets are only equipped with a single function and thus areunable to satisfy the user's all-purpose demands.

Accordingly, to solve the abovementioned issues, a multifunctionalprotection device for a flat video product is created by the presentinventor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention can be applied directly to a tablet personalcomputer. The detailed description and technical contents of the presentinvention are disclosed below, using the tablet personal computer as anexample.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, it shows three-dimensional schematicviews of the present invention. As shown in the drawings, amultifunctional protection device for a flat video product comprises asoft plastic front cover 10, a plastic back cover 20, a support bracket30, a linking hinge 40 and a rotational cover plate 50.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 at a same time, the soft plastic frontcover 10 is used to cover the tablet personal computer 60 and isprovided with plural ribs 11, such that the tablet personal computer 60can be put vertically or horizontally by plural angles and can beprevented from sliding off.

The plastic back cover 20 is used for putting the tablet personalcomputer 60 and is provided with a tablet personal computer containingspace 21. Corners at two sides of the plastic back cover 20 are providedwith snap-fits 22 and a middle part is a hand-held notch 23. A rear sideof the back cover 20 is provided with containing slots 24, 25 for thesupport bracket 30 and the rotational cover plate 50 respectively,allowing the multifunctional protection device to be complete and prettyat an outer appearance when collecting. In addition, the containing slot25 for the rotational cover plate 50 is provided with a groove ring 26to sheath with a snap ring 52 on the rotational cover plate 50, therebyrealizing rotation of the support bracket 30 and the soft plastic frontcover 10.

The support bracket 30 is used to support the tablet personal computer60 for use in a vertical or horizontal direction. Two sides of an upperend of the support bracket 30 are provided respectively with a pivot 31which sheathes with a shaft hole 51 on the rotational cover plate 50 fora purpose of connecting with the rotational cover plate 50. On the otherhand, a lower end of the support bracket 30 is provided with pluralpivots 32 to sheath with shaft holes 41 on the linking hinge 40 for apurpose of connecting with the linking hinge 40.
